This tasty apple saut is a great side dish to serve with pork chops or roast or baked ham, and they make an excellent side dish with a hearty breakfast. Or, add some whipped cream or ice cream and serve the apples as a dessert. Fried apples have long been a favorite in the south, and it's easy to see and taste why. It's a simple country-style preparation with a bit of sugar, butter, and cornstarchingredients you likely have on hand. Lemon juice keeps the fruit from browning and adds to the balance of flavors. The brown sugar gives the apples caramel flavor and makes an attractive dark sauce. If you are serving the sauted apples as a side with savory dishes or if the apples are quite sweet, feel free to cut back on the brown sugar.
